Time active vs Summary Graph: Totals do not match

[henry2man]

• [x] I am on the latest ActivityWatch version.
• [x] I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate.

Current setup:

• OS name and version: MacOS Monterrey 12.3
• ActivityWatch version: Version: v0.11.0 and BETA v0.12.0 beta 1 and 0.12.0

Describe the bug

Time active vs Summary Graph: Totals do not match.

To Reproduce

1. Open AW
2. Read Time active time
3. Go to the summary bar graph
4. Go over current day/week/month (displayed in yellow)
5. A tooltip is shown with total time.
6. Error: Times do not match

Expected behavior

I was wondering to have the same times in both places.

Could you try the latest beta release and see if the issue is still there? https://github.com/ActivityWatch/activitywatch/releases/tag/v0.12.0b1

When I test it, my times also differ, but only by ~5%.

Unfortunately it seems that the problem is still there:

I could help with the investigation of the problem by looking at the raw data. Is there any utility to do it?

EDIT: I've just found it... but I'm a little bit overwhelmed with the syntax. Could you provide me an example to start with?

EDIT 2: I've manually aggregated aw-watcher-afk_<machinename> bucket assuming that this meter is the one that indicates exactly the time that the equipment is turned on and active (is it so?). The results are clear: the correct value is the one that it's showed in the graph.

This is crucial for me because I'm using AW as project time tracker and measured time is directly translated into customer billing.

I've checked server logs and I'm also experiencing errors like:

Gap was of negative duration but could be safely merged
...
Gap was of negative duration and could NOT be safely merged

also reported in #626 and #602, so could this be the cause of having different times on both meters?

@ErikBjare Also I've rollback the update to 0.12.0-beta1 because, for an unknown reason, AW stopped to properly show events in the dashboard (going back to 0.11.0 solves the issue)

This is still present in v0.12.0b2. "Time active" seems to be the correct total.

No problems with data visualization in "Timeline (barchart)".
